### Dimension Example

Use the Graphical Hit Selection method to select feature and scan hits as inputs when you create a dimension.

Dimension types where points are not valid inputs will not display feature or scan hits.

To select feature or scan hits with the Graphical Hit Selection method:

1. Create the feature or scan hits.

2. Click the dimension type (for example, the Distance option) from the Dimension toolbar (View | Toolbars | Dimension) or from the menu (Insert | Dimension). PC-DMIS displays the dimension's dialog box.

4. After you select all the items, click Create. The software displays the new dimension in the measurement routine.
